We consider the motion of incompressible viscous fluid in a rectangle, imposing the periodicity condition in one direction and the no-slip boundary condition in the other. Assuming that the flow is subject to an external random force, white…

Entropy creation rate is introduced for a system interacting with thermostats ({\it i.e.}, in the usual language, for a system subject to internal conservative forces interacting with ``external'' thermostats via conservative forces) and a…

The rigorous tools of convex analysis are used to examine various serial and parallel combinations of linear viscosity and perfect plasticity. Nonlinear viscosities are also considered. The general aim is to synthesize a single convex…

Prior to macroscopic yielding, most materials undergo a regime of plastic activity that cannot be resolved in conventional bulk deformation experiments. In this pre-yield, or micro-plastic regime, it is the initial three dimensional defect…

We study a one-dimensional nonlinear hyperbolic-parabolic initial boundary value problem occurring in the theory of thermoelasticity. We prove existence and uniqueness of the local-in-time strong solution. Also, some global-in-time weak…

This work investigates the link between residual entropy and viscosity based on wide-ranging, highly accurate experimental and simulation data. This link was originally postulated by Rosenfeld in 1977, and it is shown that this scaling…

We study the dissipation measure arising in the inviscid limit of two-dimensional incompressible fluids. It is proved that the dissipation is Lebesgue in time and, for almost every time, it is absolutely continuous with respect to the…

I intend to make a scientific contribution of my subjective experience as a single unit of self-described ``artist'' leveraging artificial intelligence as an assistive visual creation tool, in the hopes that it may provide some inspiration…

We analyze the phenomenon of spontaneous stochasticity in fluid dynamics formulated as the nonuniqueness of solutions resulting from viscosity at infinitesimal scales acting through intermediate on large scales of the flow. We study the…

The last decade has seen major progresses in studies of elementary mechanisms of deformation in amorphous materials. Here, we start with a review of physically-based theories of plasticity, going back to the identification of…

Despite the recent successes in robotics, artificial intelligence and computer vision, a complete artificial agent necessarily must include active perception. A multitude of ideas and methods for how to accomplish this have already appeared…

We simulate late-stage coarsening of a 3-D symmetric binary fluid. With reduced units l,t (with scales set by viscosity, density and surface tension) our data extends two decades in t beyond earlier work. Across at least four decades, our…

Viscous flow past a finite plate which is impulsively started in direction normal to itself is studied numerically using a high order mixed finite difference and semi-Lagrangian scheme. The goal is to resolve details of the vorticity…

Context. High-resolution numerical methods have been developed for nonlinear, discontinuous problems as they appear in simulations of astrophysical objects. One of the strategies applied is the concept of artificial viscosity. Aims.…

We theoretically study the behavior of vesicles filled with a liquid of higher density than the surrounding medium, a technique frequently used in experiments. In the presence of gravity, these vesicles sink to the bottom of the container,…

We review recent work in the lattice approach to random surfaces and quantum gravity. Our task is made somewhat easier by some very interesting results, particularly in four dimensions, that have appeared recently and which are reported…

This is a short analysis of the changes in the concept of entropy as applied to physics of the present-day and Early Universe. Of special interest is a leading role of such a notion as deformation of a physical theory. The relation to a…

We study the role of viscosity in the early stages of relativistic heavy ion collisions. We investigate the role of viscosity on the chemical equilibration of a parton gas. In the presence of viscosity the lifetime of the system is…

The science of complexity is far from being fully understood and even its foundations are not well established. On the other hand, during the last decade, the random motion of particles or waves - the so-called diffusion - has been known…
